Say hello to Cosmo @Cosmo4 - our new Ribblr of the Week and designer behind cosmo_crochet! 
Tell us a little about yourself:
hii im a teen who loves crochet, the colour green, taekwondo, art and lots of other random stuff!! pronouns: she/her. if you ever wanna talk wellll theres one socially awkward person here!!
When did you start rafting and how?
it all started with one very nice teacher 4 years ago, who taught me and my class how to knit! i loved it, but lost interest after a while. in the beginning of 2025, i taught myself how to crochet!! i forced my parents to buy me an actually, quite expensive crochet set, and after the first day, i snapped the hook. i was discouraged but using the half that was left, learned how to crochet! though i was doing slst instead of sc…
And how did you start designing?
my first pattern was a rat, and it was originally meant to be a hamster, not sure why i changed it, but i do not regret it one bit. i may be biased but i think he’s soo cuteeee
Do you have a favorite craft type?
i would definitely say crochet. it’s so versatile and free, from tunisian crochet, to surface crochet, theres always so much to learn!!!
What was the most memorable project you worked on?
definitely my first one. i made a chick (literally just a ball with a beak) but i was so proud when i was done! i didnt have any black yarn so i used a marker to colour some yarn. it ended up looking more like a dirty panda.
What are you currently working on? Be honest - how many WIP do you have right now?
sooo since i started taking orders from people in my school, i have been really busy (which just equals more WIPs 
) but the big question, how many WIPs… a grand total of 16.
Which of your makes/designs are you most proud of?
i am really proud of a pigeon with a pizza that i made because it was my first pattern with so much sewing involved, pattern by MikiCryMade. i love all my patterns too!!
What is your usual process of designing?:
i don’t really make a lot of patterns, but when i do im normally like “such-and-such would be sooo cute as a pattern!!” or “someone tell me why there’s a total of 0 patterns of such-and-such??” but sometimes my sister desperately wants something new crocheted (she’s older) and there’s no pattern that she likes so i make one!!
What inspires you to create/design?:
i think about how i felt when i was just starting and how literally a pattern for a crochet ball was too complex. i to ink about how frustrated and disappointed i was so u try to make simple and cute patterns!! i know i dont have a lot of patterns but i am planning to do one loosely based on all of my favourite plushies.
Any favorite song, book or movie you would like to recommend?:
fave song artists: marino, livingston, jack harris. fave books: a good girls guide to murder, good girl bad blood, as good as dead. literally sooo good. fave movies: venom: the last dance, alita battle angel, avatar. 
What is your favorite feature on Ribblr?
i love the community, theres so many kind people on there!! i also really enjoy the new(ish) Ribbot run, though i keep failing horribly at it…
What socials can folks find you on? (Feel free to link!):
very sadly i dont have a lot, but i’m on pinterest cosmocat4
Which 3 - 5 designers/patterns on Ribblr are your favorite?
